    Taking into account his wins, losses and draw, what would you say were the 5 best performances from the Gypsy King?

    1. Wladimir Klitschko - Older and dodged the rematch Wlad absolutely deserved as he was undefeated for 11 years but still Fury's signature win.
    2. Wilder 2 - * next this trilogy as the Wilder wins haven't aged well but at the time Wilder was a feared power puncher and Fury walked him down and made easy work of him.
    3. Wilder 1 - Fought two bums after 3 years out the ring and straight in with someone 42-0 when AJ and many others were dodging him, we now know Wilder was probably never that good but still balls of steel and tbh Fury won every round but for the two knockdown rounds.
    4. Whyte - Fury's resume isn't great outside Wlad and Wilder so Whyte would take 4th spot, won every round and then knocked him out with a nasty uppercut.
    5. Usyk 1 and 2 - Both fights he could have won, close fights in a way but the reason Usyk 1 and 2 makes the list is the rest of the Resume is extremely underwhelming for someone that is now fighting for 10's of millions.

    Interesting you got his two losses in the Top 3, he could have won the first fight, he gave up a couple rounds early showboating and clowning and then he only lost by a round.

    He was competitive with the best fighter of his generation. Sometimes a loss is greater than a win considering the opponent

    Cotto lost to Floyd, but imo it was among his best wins. Frazier lost against Ali in the thrilla, but his performance was legendary

    Duran is among the goats and his losing effort against hagler was a great effort

    Fury doesn't have many great wins, his losses to usyk matter more than wins over most of his resume imo

    1. Wilder II
    2. Klitschko
    3. Chisora II
    4. Whyte
    5. Usyk I

    Honourable mentions:
    McDermott II, Chisora I, Schwarz, Usyk II

    Not sure why so many have Wilder III in there, he was **** that night, fighting on fumes, looking fat and sloppy and got dropped twice, it’s just that he was fighting an even worse fighter in Wilder who had also been inactive.

    & Parker and Zhang easily took care of him following...Wilder was juiced to the gills that fight though and Fury still won out of shape and poor prep.

    Wlad is def his best win....... But seeing it listed as his top performance is strange. Barely anything happened. It was a shite fight and mediocre performance from both mainly Wlad. Clear clean win by Fury but not that impressive IMO.
